The antiferromagnetically spin-coupled copper(II) pair in Neurospora tyrosinase was substituted by cobalt, yielding a stoichiometry of 2 mol of Co/mol of protein. The low magnitude of the high-spin Co(II) EPR signal indicates spin coupling of the two Co(II) ions similar to that observed in the native enzyme. The absorption spectrum with four transitions in the visible region of intermediate intensity (epsilon 607(670), epsilon 564(630), epsilon 526(465)), a shoulder at 635 nm, and the near-infrared bands at 1180 (epsilon 30) and 960 nm (epsilon 15) indicate tetrahedral coordination around the Co(II) center. The cobalt(II) tyrosinase is enzymatically inactive, and there is no evidence that it binds molecular oxygen. Upon addition of cyanide or the competitive tyrosinase inhibitors L-mimosine, benzoic acid, or benzhydroxamic acid te absorption spectrum changes in a characteristic manner. This optical perturbation shows that binding of these inhibitors (and presumably of the substrates) occurs at or near the metal site. One Co(II) ion can be removed preferentially by incubation with KCN at high pH, indicating the two ions not to be in an identical environment.  相似文献

The quaternary structure of Agaricusbispora tyrosinase has been investigated by sodium dodecylsulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was found to contain two types of polypeptide chains, referred to as Heavy, molecular weight 43,000 ± 1,000, and Light, molecular weight 13,400 ± 600. In aqueous solution the predominant form of tyrosinase m.w. 120,000, has the quaternary structure L2H2.  相似文献

The hydrodynamic properties of mushroom tyrosinase were determined at pH 6.5 using a Sephadex G-200 column. From the comparison of its gel-filtration behaviour with those of standard proteins, the following parameters were calculated: MW (122 500 ± 1%), Stokes' radius (42.75 × 10?8 cm2/sec), diffusion coefficient (5.048 × 10?7 cm2/sec) and frictional ratio (1.26). These values suggest a globular conformation of this enzyme.  相似文献

Tyrosinase from mushroom was immobilized as a cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) via precipitation with ammonium sulfate and cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. The effects of precipitation and cross-linking on CLEA activity were investigated and the immobilized tyrosinase was characterized. Sixty percent ammonium sulfate saturation and 2% glutaraldehyde were used; a 3-h cross-linking reaction at room temperature, at pH 7.0 was performed; particle sizes of the aggregates were reduced; consequently, 100% activity recovery was achieved in CLEAs with enhanced thermal and storage stabilities. Slight changes in optimum pH and temperature values of the enzyme were recorded after immobilization. Although immobilization did not affect Vmax, substrate affinity of the enzyme increased. Highly stable CLEAs were also prepared from crude mushroom tyrosinase with 100% activity recovery.  相似文献

Under anaerobic conditions, ethyl hydroperoxide functions as a two-electron acceptor in the tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of 4-tert-butylcatechol to 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, apparently by the following mechanism:
T?[Cu(II)]2 + TBC = T?[Cu(I)]2 + TB?o?BQ + 2H+
T?[Cu(I)]2 + EtOOH + 2H+= T?[Cu(II)]2 + EtOH +H2O
This is a direct demonstration of the pseudoperoxidase activity of tyrosinase. Ethyl hydroperoxide failed to oxidize either oxy- or deoxyhemocyanin.  相似文献

Mushroom tyrosinase catalyses the oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III). Both the newly-discovered ferroxidase and the well-characterized diphenol oxidase activities of tyrosinase exhibit inhibition by cyanide and both activities co-purify during two preparation steps. The characteristics of tyrosinase-catalysed Fe(II) oxidation are compared with those of other ferroxidases.  相似文献

A study of the monophenolase activity of tyrosinase by measuring the steady state rate with a group of p-substituted monophenols provides the following kinetic information: k(cat)(m) and the Michaelis constant, K(M)(m). Analysis of these data taking into account chemical shifts of the carbon atom supporting the hydroxyl group (δ) and σ(p)(+), enables a mechanism to be proposed for the transformation of monophenols into o-diphenols, in which the first step is a nucleophilic attack on the copper atom on the form E(ox) (attack of the oxygen of the hydroxyl group of C-1 on the copper atom) followed by an electrophilic attack (attack of the hydroperoxide group on the ortho position with respect to the hydroxyl group of the benzene ring, electrophilic aromatic substitution with a reaction constant ρ of -1.75). These steps show the same dependency on the electronic effect of the substituent groups in C-4. Furthermore, a study of a solvent deuterium isotope effect on the oxidation of monophenols by tyrosinase points to an appreciable isotopic effect. In a proton inventory study with a series of p-substituted phenols, the representation of [Formula: see text] / [Formula: see text] against n (atom fractions of deuterium), where [Formula: see text] is the catalytic constant for a molar fraction of deuterium (n) and [Formula: see text] is the corresponding kinetic parameter in a water solution, was linear for all substrates. These results indicate that only one of the proton transfer processes from the hydroxyl groups involved the catalytic cycle is responsible for the isotope effects. We suggest that this step is the proton transfer from the hydroxyl group of C-1 to the peroxide of the oxytyrosinase form (E(ox)). After the nucleophilic attack, the incorporation of the oxygen in the benzene ring occurs by means of an electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism in which there is no isotopic effect.  相似文献

Phenoloxidase activity was found in lichenized ascomycetes belonging to different taxonomic groups. Most of the epigeic and epilithic lichens of the order Peltigerales were found to possess both laccase and tyrosinase activities; the lichens of the order Lecanorales possessed only laccase activity, which was an order of magnitude lower than that of Peltigerales. Water-soluble phenoloxidases were present only in peltigerous lichens: activity that could be washed out from intact thalli comprised 10% of that released from disrupted thalli. The activity of the peltigerous lichens and the release of soluble phenoloxidases into the medium increased when the thalli were rehydrated quickly. In some of the lichens tested, the phenoloxidase activity was stimulated by desiccation-rehydration cycles. The oxidases discovered may play an important role in the phenolic metabolism of lichens and be involved in the biochemical reaction of humus synthesis during primary soil formation, which may be a previously unknown geochemical function of these symbiotic microorganisms.  相似文献
